On the settings page for many modules, there is a section called "Common module settings". This refers to settings that are common to many modules. |
Common module settings are:
- Availability
- ID number
- Group mode

The Available setting has up to 3 possible options (depending on whether 'Allow stealth activities' is enabled by an administrator in the Site administration).
